The D750 has a feature set unlike full-frame D-SLRs its size. It uses the same autofocus and metering technology as the D4S and the D810—Nikon’s powerful 51-point AF system with 15 cross-type sensors and 3D Color Matrix Metering III with a 91,000-pixel RGB sensor. It’s fast and responsive; shoot 6.5 fps at full resolution. And it’s endlessly versatile; shoot stills in multiple formats, video with enhanced definition, smooth time-lapse sequences up to 9,999 shots in-camera and more—all with stunning sharpness and rich tonality. Open new compositional possibilities with its 3.2-inch 1,229k dot tilting Vari-angle LCD display, or use a compatible smartphone or tablet as a remote monitor for Live View shooting.

Pro Video feature set including: Simultaneously record uncompressed and compressed, Manually control ISO, shutter speed and aperture while recording-even use Power Aperture control for smooth iris transitions and Auto ISO for smooth exposure transitions.

Good Work, Nikon. The reason I decided to go with a D750 when I already owned the D610 was it’s superior tracking ability of moving subjects in well-lit and low light conditions. I shoot a lot of wildlife, especially birds in flight, and they are not easy subjects to capture. I also enjoy shooting local live bands in very challenging lighting situations and while my D610 was handling these conditions pretty well, it did miss a few shots every now and then that I wish I had gotten. Especially when it comes to birds flying toward me at fast speeds, the D610 could not always keep up with them. The keeper rate was acceptable, but the D750 simply performs better in these situations. I get more keepers plus I get slightly faster FPS, which means I get slightly more frames to choose from.In low light where even my eyes struggle to see any contrast, there is no contest between the two cameras. The D750 locks on in near darkness, whereas the D600/D610 would hunt under the same conditions. As long as there is contrast visible, the D610 will do just fine. I’ve put it through some difficult circumstances and it handled them better than I expected. The D750 however is just more sure of itself. It hunts less, it will lock quickly and your results will be impressive.The image quality of the D750 is great of course, just as it is when using the D610. Auto white balance works surprisingly well. Skin tones look nice and so does everything else. Highlight-weighed metering is an interesting option and helps to preserve whites that might otherwise be blown out.At first I felt the flip screen wouldn’t do me much good as a still photography shooter, but now that I have it, I do use it to get some odd angles which I wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. I’m not always willing to lay on the ground or stand on my tip-toes to get a shot and now I don’t have to. The screen is sturdy and hasn’t gotten in the way, so it seems like a pretty useful feature. Fold it in when not in use, bring it out when you need it.Not only does it perform as promised, but I have also not experienced any negative issues that may have plagued some past Nikon models. I’ve shot around 5,000 frames with it so far and there are no signs of anything going awry. It focuses fast regardless of light availability, and high ISO photos look great, especially when processed through Lightroom. Basically, if you’re looking for an action DSLR with lots of great features for a reasonable price, the D750 will fit you well.—————–UPDATE: (Some people have reported seeing a shadow band at the top of the frame when shooting flares at specific angles. I have not seen this problem with my D750, but Nikon issued an advisory to repair it for free if you happen to see it. Most have not encountered this problem during normal shooting, only when they intentionally tried to induce this shadow band. If you like to shoot flares or if you shoot a lot of video, you may want to check your body for the problem when you buy it. Personally I don’t think this is as big of a problem as oil spots on sensor or left focusing issue, but there are a few buyers out there who might be affected by it. Personally I have not seen this problem with three different D750 bodies I used, but some others might.)—————–IF YOU’RE A BEGINNER TO DSLR PHOTOGRAPHY…and you haven’t really handled a DSLR before, the D750 may be a lot of camera and it may be intimidating with all the buttons, menus and dials, but it does also have an “Auto” mode with some scene modes available that will get you through the first phase of learning how to operate it. I recommend you buy a comprehensive Nikon D750 guide book and use that instead of the Nikon-provided manual. The manual that comes with the camera is far too confusing and it doesn’t really teach you anything about DSLR photography. All it does is explain what each function does, which is sometimes not enough to make you understand why you need to do something a certain way. Auto and scene modes are nice, but if you’re buying a camera of this caliber, you want to be able to benefit from what it offers, which is amazing images when the correct settings are used. Get out of Auto mode and explore M, A, P and S. You’ll be happy you did.IF YOU’RE A NIKON DX SHOOTER…thinking about moving to full frame, you currently have three choices at the 24 megapixel low to mid-range price; D600, D610 and D750. The D600, D610 and D750 are all pretty good choices, but your decision will heavily depend on how you’re going to use the camera and how big of a budget you have.Here are the similarities between them:- They all have 1/4000s max shutter speed.- They all have very similar button controls (the D750 buttons on the left side are a little bit different by including the “i” for info button)- All three have a magnificent 24 megapixel sensor…

A professional body disguised in a prosumer shell. The next great Nikon in the making I’ve gone through 3x Nikon D700 and 3x Nikon D800 bodies over the past few years. All my bodies have been through a lot and I can pinpoint what’s wrong with the D800 and how Nikon failed to capture the essence of the now legendary D700 with the way they danced around not releasing a real successor.I set my expectations super low when I heard about the D750 release and I was throughly unimpressed when I read through the spec sheet – first noticing the consumer level command dial which I would honestly never touch after switching the M, the limitation of shutter speed capped at 1/4000, and for them to further cramp the focus points towards the center which is quite inferior to what it was if you ask me.I received the camera today and put out my Df, D800, and this new D750 to compare.First thing I noticed is the grip… boy it’s lightyears of improvement comparing to the D800 which I struggle to hold on to every time I use it. The D750 grip is very similar to the D700, and if anything it’s actually better. They now give you enough space to lay your thumb and made a little bulge to improve palm grip. They have also rearranged the battery compartment so that the grip itself is smaller, allowing your fingers more surface area to hold the camera. I know most people wouldn’t care as much, but when you continue to use the camera over and over this is the type of little things that makes a huge difference.Live view response time is dramatically improved comparing to the D800. The refresh rate isn’t near the Df level which feels instantaneous, but it’s fast enough; the real difference is how soon your camera allows your input again after taking the first image with live view. The D800 is so bad that it feels like a bug they never fixed, it takes up to a few seconds for your camera to come back to live; whereas the D750 is simply very responsive in this department.The tilt screen actually feels very solid, and this makes the D750 a great camera for those who shoot both still and motion. I’ve been hoping this feature would make it to the professional bodies, and this might just be it.Initial response with image quality is very positive, even after living with D800 for the past couple years which spoiled me with the amazing dynamic range. They somehow seem to have improved that even further with the D750 which I have to say is mind boggling. The slightly lower 24.3 megapixel vs 36 from the D800 is actually a welcoming “feature”. I have to say 99% of my pictures don’t ever call for a full 36 megapixel so a lower 24.3 which is sufficiently almost all the time will save me so much headache with storage space. (I have added a total of 10 hard drives over the past 2 years thanks to shooting D800 as my primary cameras)*** updated AF section ***The auto focus performance on the camera is far beyond the D800. Not sure how well it is in comparison to the D3S and D4 yet, but it’s at least pretty close to the D700 besides not having the focus point coverage. In low light situation even with my ISO jacked un to 6400 it’s focusing just fine; and also when I try to point the camera towards direct sunlight it’s still not missing much at all and I can still rely on it. On a contrary when I put it in live view it’s actually failing to focus sometimes, which the camera has no problem not using LV to focus. Strange, but so far so good with AF…Instead of CF+SD combo this body actually has 2x SD slots. It’s not a deal breaker but if you’re concerned about SD reliability you may want to keep this in mind.The button layout is similar to the consumer level camera, but still retains enough similarities to the bigger brothers so the pros wouldn’t feel too unfamiliar.*** video portion of the review to come after thorough testings this week ***The new movie settings menu is a very welcome addition, which would allow those of us who shoot video much easier access to the functions. Nikon seems to also have given us more flexibility to customize the buttons for movie mode as well.Wifi is definitely a great addition. This opens up new ways for us to use our cameras, allowing us to instantly extract photos out of the camera and manipulate or distribute them with our cell phones. I sincerely hope that this will continue to trickle down to the entire Nikon line of products.They stuck with the EN-EL15 so we don’t have to buy new batteries – awesome!*** The bad: AF focus points are cramped… this is a huge set back and I was really hoping this wouldn’t happen. At this point it seems like Nikon is set to designing their future cameras like that which is a step back.*** The maybe: This isn’t a professional line of camera, although it feels very good and feels just like the pro bodies but it’s not. The omission on 1/8000 shutter speed and the consumer…
